I created this lab to show how the coronavirus has been spreading in different parts of the world. The coronavirus began in December 2019. It started in China and then has expotentially increased around the world since March. Currently, United States has the most confirmed cases arounf the world but in recent news China has been holding out information on how many people truly have the virus.Some symptoms inlcude a cough, fever, drouseiness, and difficulty breathing. The number of confirmed cases and deaths is supposed to peak in the next 21 days.

The figure above is here to show how the disease has spread throughout the globe. It is evident that COVID-19 is more prevelent in the nothern hemisphere and near the coasts due to trade and travel. This grpah shows the number of cases in the United States and how the east coast has been hit much more severely than other part of the country. More than half the cases in the country are on the east coast but it still spreading throughout the country. The key in this graph is showing density of confirmed cases.The midwest is showing the leaset amount of cases, while coastal states are showing the most.The most prevalent being the state of New York. This multicolored graph is an easier interpretation of the same data. It is easier to emphasize that New York has the most confirmed cases much a significant number. Also, Louisiana is on the rise as well. New York was chosen for this graph due to almost half of the country’s confirmed cases being in this state. The area that was hit the hardest was the southern part of the state where it connects to the Atlantic Ocean. Many tourists and international trade transactions occur here so it was likely for the virus to spread the most in that area.

This is another graph to show the same data and to show how many more cases are in the southern tip of the state. So many people interating with each other causes a virus ot spread like wildfire. Also, this is the reason why such strict social distancing guidlines are being put in place.

This last graph was to show how the cases in the United States have compared to other cases around the world. In early February these countries were aorund the same but by mid-March more and more cases developed. The United States grew exponentially due to lack of early precautions and a large population. Certain countries have different guidlines on how they plan to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Some countries implement harsher restrictions when it comes to social distaning than others. Also,certain countires have the supplies to test faster than other countries so they get results they can publish much faster.
